However, they do miss a lot of the enjoyment of boating (again, my opinion). I do most of my own work because I do enjoy it, and I have also found out I like the people I meet in boat yards.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
